Detroit blanked their old nemisis in Colorado 3-0. However, the whole game was a battle of netminders. Only one goal was scored in the first 57 minutes.
Petr Mrazek blocked 28 saves for his first shutout of the season. He has been stellar so far as our injury replacement for both Jimmy Howard & Jonas Gustavsson. After receiving four days of rest he looked sharp.
Colorado had a first period goal waved off when their player hand-pucked. Detroit got on the board in the second on a power play. Justin Abdelkader shoved one into the back of the net. That’s where the game stood as Mrazek refused to allow a goal.
When Patrick Roy pulled his goalie, the Red Wings made them pay with two goals in the closing minutes. It will never get old to beat those snarfs.
